Episode Date: October 25, 2024

It's the fourth and final week of October and the Smark Avengers have some money burning holes in their pockets! After weeks spent talking about spooky and scary and unusual characters... you're going to want to ally yourself with those monsters, right? Like if there are a bunch of monsters out there then you'd probably want some to have at your side, right? The Hobgoblin can't be EVERYONE'S friend though which means he's only going to go to the highest bidder! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as the Smark Avengers have $100 to build the best spooky, scary team of comic characters in a special Halloween auction!

Well, you work on a spreadsheet factory. I do kind of work in a spreadsheet factory in a sense. John, do you work in a spreadsheet factory? Yeah, pretty much. That's all I do all day, every day, is working on spreadsheets. You guys both spreadsheets? Yeah, we're actually in competition with one another. The American branch of our business and his.

Yeah, we're the spreadsheet mafia. We turned a beloved baby face to do a heel. And they're going to, we're going to, like John and I are going to face all of the new young and upcoming generation Z kids. And we're not going to put any of them over. Then you're going to cash in their money in the bank, brief games at the same night. And throw fireballs at us. Yeah. But then after the match, going to have a little kick.

A little kick. A little post match kick. A little post match kick. just a little one A glancing blow with a chair Guys I know this is the beginning of the show You're not going to understand any of that

I assume either Corey cut that out Because it had been no sense Or he left it in And this preamble is also going in To try to explain that You guys aren't going to understand that So don't worry about it Don't stress out about it

Yeah just enjoy the ride Just enjoy the fun That we're having And you'll be okay You know We're having a great time And therefore, so should you. All right.

Welcome to the Smart Avengers. My name is Corey and with me as Dylan and John. And it is the fourth and final week of the spooky season episodes. How are you guys feeling about that? Are you guys spooked? Have you guys been utterly terrified to your very core other other other horrific, hellacious episodes? My goodness, they've been so spooky and scary. we talked about so many spooky things.

Remember we talked about the Hobgoblin? Oh, what a villain. Remember? Yeah, we did. And then we talked by a gentleman ghost. Yep. And we talked about whatever the fuck happened to the other one. I don't remember what happened the other one.

It's okay. There was a lot. Yeah, probably. Yeah. It was pretty spooky, so. Yep. So we hope that you're enjoying October as much as we have, even though while we record this, it is still very much September.

No, it's a co-word. Yep, breaking the fade, brother. You're recording this the day that this episode was up. Yep. We did that before, and it wasn't panic-inducing at all. We're doing it again, and none of us are panicking. Nope. None of us legitimately are panicking.

But anyway, since this is our final week, we decided we do something a little special and a little different, and do something again that we, really enjoyed the first time. So several episodes ago, I think it was in the month of July, we created our own team of X-Men by having an auction. So for those of you who are unfamiliar with auctions or the traditional manner of them, not like necessarily eBay, there is something on the line. You have a finite amount of money that you're able to say I would spend that much money on. But the trick is you don't want to say all of the money you're willing to spend because

you're hoping to get it cheaper, but your competition are the other people in the room who may also be trying to get it for as cheap as possible. And thus you go back and forth until somebody inevitably taps out and says, fine, you can just take the piece of shit. I don't fucking care. Sometimes you get lucky and you get forged for like dirt cheap. Yeah, yeah. Your first one was Bishop for three and you started the bidding at three. I think I got, didn't I get forged for one? you got forged for one no two yeah two it was all my characters I got for one who do we get for one

angel and jubilee right forge is way better than angel we are having another auction today but this time instead of doing mutants to build our own X-Men teams we have a list of supernatural-esque characters some we've talked about in the last few episodes some we've not

and we are going to be trying to create our own supernatural defense force. In DC Comics, they call it Justice League Dark. I think in Marvel they were the Midnight Sons. We have 100 pounds to spend between us. Once you spend all of your money, you're out. We have 22

characters here. Currently, they are listed alphabetically, but I'm on a randomizer to randomize the order in which they're in. This randomizes every time with the click of a button, fellas, how many times should I click this button? Three. Four.

Three plus four. Seven? Yes. All right. Feels like we're bidding already. Two. Three. Oh, the suspense.

Four. My gosh. Five. Six. And seven. Oh. So I did a little bit of preparation for this one. So we are all very big X-Men fans.

So we did not. need to explain who certain characters were. But because these are a little more obscure at times, and you may have a question on what are their abilities, I have all this information ready to go, should you have any questions? It's because you have a right good host. Thank you. So, fellas, are you ready to begin? Yeah. All right. First up on our order from the world of DC Comics, his name is Jonathan Crane and he is the scarecrow a Batman villain who utilizes

a fear-inducing gas toxin known as fear toxin and he preys upon the people of Gotham City as the villainous scarecrow Does he have crows or is that the Marvel one? He does not have crows so those are it is not in his realm of abilities

I can give you the names of the abilities but there are a lot of it's a deal breaker right there, the crows. What are you saying? You were going to tell us his powers. Is that what you said? Well, I was going to ask if you wanted to know what his powers were, or if you had a question of it, this, this one, have the ability to do this.

I can confirm or deny. Well, I've already got my answer. But if John has any questions, you can go for that. I'm familiar with the scarecrow. Okay. So would anyone like to start a betting out at one? I will take Okay John you go with one

I'll go to two then I'll go three I will go five I'll go seven I'll go nine I'll go ten I'll go ten that's fair

I'll go eleven okay because he is pretty good as a villain you know he was in um Was it Batman Begins? Yeah, well, he's in the entire Nolan trilogy.

He is actually in. Animated series. Yeah. Yeah. But like he was focused more. In the animated series. Batman begins. You know, he is a,

he's a very good Batman villain. Because I think Fear works as a Batman kind of, a plot device a lot more than like a lot of other characters. And he was chosen to be a member of the Sinestro. core because of his ability to instill great fear. There you go. Was he afraid of yellow or whatever the fuck? No, no, they are yellow.

So, well, are they afraid of them? What are they afraid of? No, no, no. It's their ability to, yeah, their ability is to generate fear, not necessarily to feel of themselves, but to make others feel it. Right, but aren't they weak to something? Not necessarily. I mean, more of it's just like if you're the, if you have the ability to,

essentially conquer that those fear emotions that you're hit with okay anyway forget that what are you guys bidding okay I'm in 11 right now yeah I go 12 I'll go 13 lucky 13 it's getting too high for me I think I might tap out but think about it though like that's that's a good villain to have yeah I know you know you mean like The DC Scarecrow, I think, is a bigger deal than the Marvel Scarrow. Oh, by far. Yeah, he's a pretty big deal. You know, you can use him for a lot of, like, good storylines and stuff.

Like, he's a character that you could get a lot of mileage out of. Hmm. What do you think? What's the bad ad so far? 13. 13. 13 and Corey's court? Yep.

Is John going to make a play? Nope. 13 and a half? I don't think we can do have to. I'm not, that's not me. That's not me betting, by the way. Yeah. It would be weird to me to show up for like this long and then suddenly put in a weird

bid that makes no sense. That's not what I did. I mean, I'm good. John, you're good? Yeah, I'm good. So. Scarecrow to Corey for 13. I think that's not a bad deal, frankly.

You know, I mean, like I said, I wasn't that interested in the scarecrow. Once I knew he had no crows, the scare. Yeah, that was it. Not interested. It was a deal breaker for me. But I could see where you guys would want him, you know. Okay. Coming up in our second character,

born in Haiti, Jericho Drum left for America to become a doctor. When he received word that his brother was dying because of a voodoo curse, he got revenge by learning voodoo from Papa Jumbo, thus becoming an indispensable ally to Dr. Strange, Black Panther, and the Avengers. This is, of course, is brother Voodoo, who at one point was the Sorcercerer Supreme when it was deemed that Dr. Strange was unfit to continue in the role after using forbidden magic to fight the Hulk. Evil magic. Is he, is Dr. Strange back to be in Sorcercero Supreme now?

We're in a weird place with it. I think it's Doom technically right now. Oh, it is Doom. It is Doom. Yeah, they're in a weird place with it. Yeah, why not? He loves magic, man. Um

Okay, you know what? I'll take a one. I'll go two. Okay. John? Nope. Not interested in Brother Voodoo, huh? No.

He's never really, uh, appealed to me too much, to be honest. You know, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll go a three. Uh, we'll go four. Oie, yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it worth five? I'll go five Okay, I'll go six

I think I'm done honestly Wait wait wait wait wait I'm gonna minute now let's look at this logically Okay It was good enough to be Sorcer Supreme Mm-hmm yes How many other people have done that?

Like four? There have been a handful Cleo Strange was Sorcer Supreme for a bit of time Stephen was for the longest time Dr. Doom currently holding it down right now So it's a rare club to be in.

But these are important people. Yeah, mainly you get to be Sorcerer Supreme when Dr. Strange has fucked something up. But also, like, he's got a lot of good paris himself. Yes. So, oh, do you want to run down his pars? Sure.

There are quite a bit, so I will try to skip over some of them that may not be the most applicable. Can he use the speed force? Yeah, I will use the speed force. All right. He's adaptive. He can control animals.

He can animate objects. He can project himself astraly. He can blast things out of his hands. He can blend into his surroundings. He is cosmically aware of the world outside of our own. He has a danger sense. He can manipulate the dark force. He can manipulate darkness.

He has divine powers. He can manipulate the earth. He can control electricity. He's sympathetic. He can absorb energy. He can create energy-based constructs, including shields. He can control. fire. He has healing abilities. He can hypnotize you. He can control ice and cold weather. He can create

illusions. He's technically immortal. He's insanely rich. He's very intelligent. He has been around for a very long time. He can fly. He can cast magic spells if all this hadn't made sense before then. There you go. Part of those spells can be necromanic. He can make himself intangible and pass through walls, communicate with ghosts. He can control plants. He can possess people. He has post-cognition. He can generate power into items. He's precognizant. He can sense death. He can change his shapes. He can siphon abilities from other people.

He can change his size. He can absorb your soul. He has super sight, super speed, super strength. He has high stamina. He's telekinetic. He's telepathic. He's teleporting. He's tracking.

He can control the weather. He can control the water. And he can create willpower-based constructs. You see, I think we should have done this right off the bat. Because now, after saying all that shit, you're like, are we, are we betting too low? Like, holy fuck, dude. This guy can do it. Also.

He can talk to animals. He can talk to crows. Now we're a business. There you go. What's the bed at? I think we're at six. Yeah, we're at six. After all of that stuff, I got to go to seven.

I'll go eight. You know what? At first I had like a passing interest in him. You just read off like a laundry list of like every fucking thing. that guy sounds way cool than the Scarecrow I'm gonna go to 10 That's fair

I'll go 12 I don't know if I want to go that high Brother Vood But that that list of shit you said Yeah it's a lot That's a lot That's way more in the Scarecrow I'll go 13

Okay you'll go to 13 I'll go 13 I'll go 14 I can't go any higher than that I really thought 13 was going to be it. I really did. Because you went 13 on Scarecrow. I'm like, well, I'll go there doing this guy.

So I got Brother Voodoo slash Dr. Voodoo. Yes, I'll write down. By the way, you weren't correct. Scarecrow's list was much shorter. At the end of the day, he's a super smart guy who can create gas. I mean, we can all create gas. That's true. I was waiting for that.

There we go. All right. Are you guys ready for number three? I feel like no offense to me and John. Corey might be winning this so far. Well, technically, yeah. Technically. Technically. All right.

Coming in at number three, Dr. Stephen Strange was once a gifted but egotistical surgeon who sought out the ancient one to heal his hands after they were wounded in a car accident. Instead, the ancient one trained him to be the master of mystic arts and the sorcerer supreme of earth. We could also do his powers as well if you choose to do so right now. Why not? All right. I will tell you he doesn't have as many as brother voodoo.

Agility. Animation, astral projection, blast power, cosmic awareness, dimensional manipulation. I can animate. He can make inanimate objects animate. Okay. So you can make a chair dance. Do you want to? Well, in animation, I can do that too.

There you go. Dimensional manipulation, divine power, energy manipulation, fire control, flight, force fields, healing, hypnosis, illusion casting, insanely rich, intelligent, invisibility, leadership, longevity, longevity, mesmerized, necromancy, phasing, possession, psionic, psychic, reality manipulation, stamina, swordsmanship, telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, time manipulation, time travel, and unarmed combat. I mean, you said the list was shorter than Brother Roodoo, which was correct, but also still pretty impressive. Yes. A lot of time stuff going on there. Yes. So, who would like to start us off at one for Dr. Stephen Strange? John, I think it's pretty good that you'd be bocci of their money. Yeah.

Oh, boy. I'll go for one. Okay. I mean, I'll have to go for two. I was about to say we're going to do one. Up the ante then. I'll go to five. Five.

Seven. Yeah. Seven. It's Dr. Stephen Strange. All right. I'm up to ten. Oh, you undercut me. I was going to make a big play there and you went to ten.

I mean, I'll go. Okay, here's a big play. You ready? One. You're right. Eleven. I go 15.

I'm not going 15. Well, he went 15. That's why I mean, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going to high. Corey, it's just you, man. Yeah, I'm going to let you have Dr. Strange at 16. I already got one of the other

people who was sorcerer Supreme. Or 15. So, John, you're at 15 for Dr. Strange. I'll take that. Which I think it's the highest so far. I think some people would still consider that a steel, though. I think after reading the fucking powers, Brother Boodoo seems like the... I feel like I should have went hard on the course.

Yeah, he was the dark horse. AKA the cool force. Yeah, there you go. All right. Up next, he is a lord of chaos and a master of the extra-dimensional gods known as the old ones, and he is a rule, and he currently rules over hundreds of various dimensions.

He's best known for being one of the most powerful, and terrifying adversaries of Dr. Strange, it is seemingly impossible to permanently destroy this evil god known as Schumagorath. So for our listeners here, Schumagorath is a giant eyeball with tentacles. He's massive because he was also in Marvel vs. Capcom 2, I think. He was. Yeah.

Automatically that gives him points with me. There you go. You know what I mean? So, Schumagoras' abilities, agility, blast power, density control, dimensional manipulation, divine powers, energy absorption, energy manipulation, feral, healing powers, immortal, intelligent, invulnerable, been around for a very long time, magical, phasing, reality manipulation, shape shifting, siphoning life force, stamina, super strength, and telepathy. would you like to choose anyone like to start with one pound for schumagoraph I'm gonna go one I'll go two oh count both go two don't you want to three I'll go three

I will also go three I'll go five oh I'm gonna go I'm going seven okay I got it eight who said eight I did

Corey you you you malcontent sorry you you have to hear that but you just

got me what did you go for I would 8 9 oh that silence is good 9 9 to get a guy from Marvel

versus Capcom 2 so that's a 10 You said 10? I said 10. Ha! I'm obviously saving my money for Forge. The Supernatural Character Forge. You know what if I just give you this guy?

Okay. What if you just have him? Yeah. Yeah. He's yours. And what was that final bid? Was it 11 or 12? I think it was 10.

Yeah. 10. Okay. It was the thing. He's from Marvel versus Capcom too. He was really good. But if you play Marvel versus Capcom too, there are a hundred other characters you're going to pick.

Before you want to go out. Oh, 100%. You would even pick Roel. You would pick the little Lego Man before you'd pick this guy. Thanks. All right. Up fifth,

the legendary monster created by Dr. Victor Frankenstein, though notorious for his toured past, He was a member of the Seven Soldiers of Victory, currently leads the creature commandos, and is a member of Justice League Dark, Frankenstein. Frankenstein is adaptive, agile, has berser strength, divine powers, gadgets, healing, immortal, implants,

invulnerability, leadership, longevity, magic, marksmanship, stamina, Submariner, Super Strength, Swordsmanship, tracking, unarmed combat and weapon master. I'm going to start at five. I have a question. Yeah. Yes.

When you say implants, he's got like cybernetic. Oh. That's disappointing. Does no, I mean, John were thinking. No, I had a feeling when I saw that. I'm like, if I read over this quickly as possible, maybe they won't notice. Well, I have another question. Yeah.

Gadgets. Yes. Like James Bond. So he works for a government agency called. Yeah. But it's right you got a huge tits. Go go, Frankenstein arms.

Go go Frankenstein tits. Wait, wait, so explain the gadgets. Frankenstein works for the... He works for some government agencies. The government thought he should employ Frankenstein? Yes. Yes, he's a member of... The US government?

Are they idiots? Don't answer that. We know that. Yes. Yes. So, yeah, he was a member of shade. which was the department of the CIA that dealt with supernatural beings. Kind of like it was the DC version of the BPRD,

the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. So any other questions about Frankenstein? I feel like as a former English student, we should say it's Frankenstein's monster, technically. Do you know what Frankenstein's monster was called in the book? George. No. Have you guys read the book? Yes.

Yeah. I think it was called... What, Corey? What? No, I read the book. I'm also confused about where this is going. I'm just as confused as John. I think it was called Adam.

No. He referred to himself as Adam. Yes. Is there a line about... Where he was kind of lamenting to Victor about why he, like, shunned him. Like, I should be your Adam and instead I'm your Satan. Right. like wouldn't you know wouldn't he refer to him couldn't he give himself his own name

probably i mean that's not make more sense than just being the fucking Frankenstein monster well in in canon he is he does go by Frankenstein because i i don't want to talk to you guys about dr victor frankenstein and dc it's too much right now so dc just adopted this already existing character victor von frankestine and said well we'll just we'll just make him ours and we'll just odd shit. I mean, I guess Marvel did that with Dracula. Yeah, there you go. Well, Grant Morrison was the one who created this iteration for it as well. Grant Morrison, I love him so much, but sometimes. Yeah, it's a little much. Yeah, sometimes. Is that way you stood off the bat, went for five? Oh, no, I just really like the character.

I've read multiple series that had Frankenstein as a lead. I'm going to up the ante. I'll go to 10. Whoa. Did you say 20? Yeah, I'll go to 20. Whoa. That's more than like Annie X-Mound me fucking bid for. No, I think we got Magneto up there.

How the fuck? How good is Frankenstein in his bright name where you're like, got to get this guy? Well, because like, you had straight this money? I'm bidding high on the supernatural characters that I know, right? Three bids on Frankenstein. It's all auctions go, man. I have a feeling you might win this Yeah

I'm tempted because Corey really wants him So I'm like Should I do 21 But I have I have like no At first we were talking about I'm like that'd be nice to get I might do like five Straight away it was fucking 10

I need to remind you You haven't got anyone yet By my time man Morbius is coming up And it's gonna be morbin time All the time We actually see where he is on the list. Okay.

You don't think I know what I'm doing? John, you already think I would be this fucking stupid? Me? The most intelligent of the three of us? Come on, I. Please, give me a little bit of credit. Anyway, the point is I'm not going over Frankenstein. Yeah.

Is that it? Is that it? 20? Fantastic. I'm happy with 20. Okay. Real quick. So I've been writing out the numbers, but I haven't been doing the calculations.

John, maybe on your spreadsheet you can tell us what the calculations are. Yeah. So I know that Corey has spent 13 plus 14 plus 10 plus 20. So he's down to 43 pounds left. John, you spent 15? Yes. So I have 85 pounds left. But tell the people how much I've got left.

You have 100 pounds left to spend. This is how it started last time. And then I got... And you were like, Bishop 3, and nobody'd been for Bishop. Bingo, I got Bishop. I got Forge. I fucking stole a lot. I got the best team.

No fans, guys. I got the best team. Yeah, team gun. I haven't read the comments on YouTube. I assumed that everybody in the comments agreed with me and said I had the best team. And I'm going to get the best team this time. All right. There you go.

All right. So our sixth auction... Well, this one might get you to spend some money there, Dylan. It's off the gabbit. No, no. Roderick Kingsley became a worthy heir of the Goblin legacy, creating his own identity of the Hobgoblin rather than just being another green goblin clone. Roder Kingsley, adaptive, agile can blast power out of his hands. He has claws. He has electricity control. He has gadgets. He has heat generation.

Also, with a massive pair of tides, because he has implants. He's insanely rich. She's intelligent. Natural born leader. He can cast magic. There's a work as a marksman. He has a suit that gives him extra abilities.

He's a very... accomplished Taylor and fashion designer fashion designer yeah yes Corey why didn't you write that in the thing because I was going based off the first description

that Comic Vine gave me Comic Vine you're lazy the whole you'll see how lazy they are for some of these I mean they went to time with broader voodoo they they kind of did didn't they all right this

Bobglin, who's starting? I am so glad I kept my money for Roder Kingsley. I'll go 10. 12. 15? 16.

20? My soul. 21. 25. Fuck! 25 is an inhuman amount of money to spend in this guy. I really like the Hope Goblin.

I also really like. Goalgoblin, 26. 27. Oh, my, I'm done. Ugh. I can't. I can't. 27?

Boy? Yeah, man. Yep. 27. No. Money well spent. Oh. Dang it. All right.

Oh, boy. That one was everything I hoped it would be. Whatever. All right, our seventh character. John Constantine, the Hellblazer, is a working class magician, occult detective, and golden tongue con man. He's well known for his scathing wit,

endless cynicism, ruthless cunning, and constant chain smoking. A roguish counterculture anti-hero, Constantine is also a strident humanist, driven by a heartfelt desire to defend mankind from the forces of evil. John Constantine is adaptive, agile, can project himself astraly as blast power,

He does not have animal control. So we're going to start Constantine at 1. I mean, I'll take that of 1. I'll go 2. Corey? I already have a magic user. You're not interested in Constantine at all? No, not really a Constantine guy.

All right, so this is me and John, huh? Yeah. You know, I'm going to bump it up to 5. I'll go 7. I'll go eight I might tap out eight I think eight's pretty fucking good I'm looking at mine

I've already got a magic user as well though the source for a supreme no less so do I double check my list do I have a magic user already no no all right well that works that works all right so eight yeah it is sweet

I think that's pretty good I'll take it That's not bad. You read out of the list of powers that I'm pretty happy with to have. You know? All right.

Like hydrant. But his head's on fire. Like a human torch. Interesting. We've raised the stakes here, fellas. All right. I mean, I say that. We reach the stakes with fucking hopgol.

certainly did so who would like to start us out with one for the ruler of the dark dimension

Dormamu I'll go for one I'll go two oh man what I thought I thought I was gonna get him for one

what the fuck three those abilities three I'll go five oh six I'll go

too juicy for me 9 10 okay I'll let you have them a 10 I'm gonna steal out with dude that's a steel it is a big steal but you get Dormammu the dread ruler of the dark dimension

Dormammu for 10 is fucking incredible yeah I don't John what was your reasoning for not going higher because I've spent too much on the hobgoblin Fair enough Corey, is that your reason for not going for it too Is that you spent too much money

On all their fucking guys you got No, I was like looking at it I was like I'll go up to a certain point Because I already have Shumugorath Who is already like an evil ancient god Dude, Dormo is way cooler Right? I don't know but he's my ball tentacles

He's more aesthetically pleasing I like the firehead You like the firehead? Yeah, that's what I'm into That's all I'm all about that I love that firehead static, you know. John, what's everybody's money account at the moment? So you have 43 pound left to spend.

Dylan has 82 pound left to spend. And I have 58 pound left to spend. All right. So to live you an idea, this is our ninth pick out of 22. We have a ways to go still. That's heard John just take a blow there. All right, he's the victim of an ancient family curse. Jack Russell struggled for years with his bestial alter ego.

But over time, he has conquered his inner demons. Now he fights the dark forces that plague our world. He's an enforcer of justice, an avenger of shadows, and a werewolf by night. Jack Russell is agile, has berserker strength, claws, is feral, high healing, highly intelligent, invulnerable, can shape, shifts, has high stamina, superhearing, supersight, super small, super speed, super strength, an expert tracker and a master of unarmed combat. Would you like to start us off at one pound for the werewolf by night?

Whenever you say he's high healing, do you mean he's really good at high heels? Yes. You can walk a runway. That's interesting. He would be really good with Roderickingsley. Yeah. Oh, in that case, I'll go him for one then. I'll go for two.

Three? I'm going to go three. No, I went three. I will also go for three. I'll both go for three. I'll go for four to clear it up. Six. Seven.

Come on, man. You got loads of monsters already. Eight. Well, after that heartfelt plea, I have to give it up. See, if we were betting on an actual Jack Russell, I would totally go for it. Because I love Jack Russell, the dogs. But a guy called Jack Russell, I don't know. Oh. So I think I might be right.

By night. Well, my dog's a werewolf all the time. There you go. So John doesn't agree to get the werewolf by night. Yeah. For eight? Yeah. For eight.

Okay. All right. Here is our 10th pick. This one might also raise some eyebrows. Why do we Kings Day again? Bonded with the dark alien symbion after it was discarded by Spider-Man becoming the first venom. Eddie Brock later on became

anti-venom. The symbiate was lost during the events of Spider Island. Then he was forcefully bound to toxin by the crime master before reluctantly given it up to stop carnage. Most recently, however, he has rebounded with venom.

Eddie Brock. And he's become the god of the symbiates. There you go. He's super agile, has berserker strength, claws, he's elastic. He can enhance his mutation, making himself bigger or smaller. He's feral,

has a high healing factor, is an expert marksman, basically wearing a power suit. High stamina, super speeds, super strength, expert of unarmed combat is a wall clinger, a weapon master, and a web slinger. Do we want to start anybody off at one for Eddie Brock,

aka Venom? Also, he doesn't set off Spider-Mond's Spider-Sense. There you go. If you're thinking about, like a villain like that's a good power to have it's a good ability to have yeah I'll go I'll go two

I'll go five that's fair Corey I have no interest in venom you don't care of Benham at all not really no here's the thing right I don't remember what the full list of people is same so I'm thinking

if Venom is in this list there's a possibility Let's be completely transparent. We all put these, we picked all of the names together at the end of the last session. This is not you guys completely blind. You just don't remember. I was drinking last time. I'm drinking this time.

Maybe it'll come to you. If we didn't add carnage to this list, I'm disappointed in all of us. I can tell you if carnage is on the list. What? I can tell you if carnage is on the list. Right, because that's my question. is it like, obviously, I want to save, what have I been doing today? Saving my money for Carnage.

Yeah. Carnage is on the list. He is on the list. Yes. I have no problem telling you guys who's on the list because we created the list together. So therefore, the issue is, I can answer it. The issue is, because I want Carnage, are you guys going to fuck me on Carnage? Not if you let me get Venom, I guess.

Well, what if I let you get random for a reasonable price? Yeah What are we at now I think we're on five now And you're in your court Yeah Yeah I believe so Well I'll go to

I'll I'll I'll I'll I'll go six What you just said you were gonna let me have him For a reasonable price You paid 27 for the Hobgoblin Oh I'm so bidding on carnage now That's where all of my money is going

What you're not gonna beat six no, I'll go seven and then I want to say like this is really low still I do it because whenever I said I want to do

reasonable price for Venom I was thinking like 10 like seven is still pretty low for what are like the most popular characters from the 90s for Venom

stop jacking up the price you know what you want right I'm going to do you a deal John right I'm not going to jack up the price I'm going to give you ban on for seven.

Okay. That's a deal, yes, but we have an understanding when a carnage comes up, yes? Yeah. Is that fair?

What's the understanding? That you don't jack up the price for carnage. I mean, you just jacked it up a little bit for me, though. To seven? Seven,

that's a lot of money when you've only got 50 pounds left to spend. Okay, fair enough, but for the record, nobody else has gone for less than it. And we're

talking about fucking Jack Russell here. Nobody else has gone for less than yet. We're giving you Bannon for 7. That's reasonable. That's Corey, back me up here. That's reasonable. Right, right, right. I'll go with that. I will agree as well. Okay.

I'll help, I'll give John Bannon for 7. Okay. Thank you very much. Jack at the price. Seven. You fucking kidding me. All right, real quick. Let's do a recap. Fireball on your face, mister. All right, let's do a quick recap on people's remaining funds because we are about to hit the halfway point.

Okie-doke, so I have 43 pound left. Corey also has 43 pound left, and Dylan still has 82 pounds left to spend. 82 sweet carnage points. We call them the tree at carnage points. Pretty happy through it. Yeah, we're hitting on number 11 right now. So we are 11 out of 22. Sweet.

All right. Do you want to recap who has who, though? Well, I can do that real quick. Do you want John do it? Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, go for it. Corey has a scarecrow from D.C., brother Boodoo from Marvel.

Sheima Gareth from Marvel and Frankenstein, I think, was from D.C. Yes. But really from, like, literature. right aside from literature Frankenstein from the fucking book Frankenstein I have Constantine and Dormammu which I think is alright

I'm happy enough of that John has got Dr. Strange Hobgoblin, Warwolf by Night and Venom which on paper most of it is pretty good I'm pretty happy with that I think that's a pretty good list to be fair

Corey with Scarecrow, brother Boodoo and Frankenstein and also, Shima Gareth, not bad. You guys are doing pretty well so far. Like, if this was a fight,

Constitina Dormandum, might have a bit of a tough time. You know what I mean? Yeah. But it could all change. We still got plenty of people to go. All right. Our 11th,

our 11th pick botanist, Alec Holland, became the avatar of the green, known as Swamp Thing, following his death in a swamp as a result of a horrific accident. With the ability to control any form of plant life, Swamp Thing uses his powers to protect both the human and the plant worlds.

He can animate in ottoment objects, project himself astraly, he can blend into his surroundings, he can absorb chemicals, he can secrete chemicals. He is cosmically aware. He has divine powers. He can duplicate his body. He can manipulate the earth. He is elastic. He can fly. He can heal himself.

He's immortal. He's highly intelligent. He is invulnerable. He is long-lasting. He can cast magic. He can control the dead. He can control plant life. He is poisonous.

He can possess objects and other people. He can shape shift. He can change his size. He can absorb someone's soul. He is high stamina. He can breathe underwater. He's super strength. Can teleport, can travel through time, and is a master of unarmed combat.

This sounds like a brother voodoo situation where you're like, what the fuck? What did this come from? Corey, real quick, right? I want to, I want to, because we're at the halfway point nine. Yes. I want to put to you and John, something. real quick because like we've said you and John are both like over half your budget you guys have like 40 something left right 43 yeah what if I posit a caveat for you guys

for all of us really okay because there's probably going to be a point where like we run out of money but you still want a character so what if we say if you're getting down to the wire you can put one of your characters into like the lost zone in exchange for 10 extra pines. So you can drop a character for 10 extra pounds, is what you're saying? Yes. Yes. If you find a character you want more than somebody else, you can drop that one character you have in exchange for 10 extra pounds to barter with. Yeah, that makes sense to me.

How does that sign? Is 10 a good number or what do you think? I feel like 10's a good number because it also like, If you've been spending high this whole time, then you know, you're going to shoot yourself on the footy if you have to take that deal because you're going to have been lost money still. But it also means like if I decided closer, like if you're down to like seven and you get an extra 10, 17 could be a winning bid. Oh yeah, absolutely. But what I mean is like say that I choose Frankenstein to drop. I only get 10 coins back out of the 20 that I spent. So I'm still at a loss.

So I like that because it makes you, it makes you make hard decisions. But I also think that that's fair because there's a, you know, you guys, I was pretty frugal at the beginning. You guys are pretty, Corey, especially, it was pretty gung-ho at the beginning. This gives you guys, like, all of us really a chance to kind of like assess your team and think, okay, who do I really need? Who do I really want? So I wanted to put that through now when we're about halfway through. And you guys are about halfway through your money. Let's add that as an addendum.

You can swap anybody out and put them into the loss zone. in exchange for 10 extra puns. Is that a fair deal? And I actually like that we put that in now, as opposed to the X-Men one, because like we said, the X-Men one was super easy, right? I think all three of us

pretty much made her own perfect X-Men team. We came pretty fucking close to making our own best X-Mint team, whereas this is a bit more strategic, a bit more, we're thinking it through a lot more. You know, we're not just voting with our heads, or not just voting with our hearts,

but voting with our heads and being a lot more strategic. So I think that's a good rule if we're happy enough of that. Yeah. So on top of that, after the whole list of stuff you said about Swamp thing, like I said, it seems like a brother beauty situation. A lot of stuff going on. I'm happy to open the bid up to two.

A pretty high two. A pretty high too. Yeah. I'm good with letting Swamping go for two. I'll be honest with you. Can I ask you another question? Can I, yeah, can I, if I get Swamping, do I also get the weird bug guy? No, no, no.

They might be part of a deal for someone else further on. Well, okay, okay. All right, I like that. That might be part of it. That's a sign on deal with another person. Okay. And if that is the case, you would want the Swamp thing to fight those guys. Yeah?

Yeah, I would assume so. Yeah. So the swamp thing seems like a pretty good idea to have. Mm-hmm. So two seems like a really good bet. All right. You can have them for two then. Jeez.

Holy shit. A lot of this happens because of the order of which they are shuffled. So keep that in mind also. We might be entering a patch of a lot of $2 wins. this one may not be one of them though once a well-renowned biochemist dying from an unknown blood disease and desperately searching for a cure

once finding that cure in turn is inflicted with a curse far worse than any possible disease the curse of the blood-sucking nightbeast Michael Morbius became Morbius the living vampire Oh it's more of a time now fellas He is highly agile

has claws as feral can fly can heal can hypnotize he has a high intellect he's invulnerable he can levitate he has long longevity so he's going to be around for quite a while he's a marksman he can mesmerize he has high stamina super hearing super sight super smell super speed super strength

master of unarmed combat and of course the power of vampirism you know what sucks about Morbius is a I always like Morbius of the TV show because I thought he did a really good job of making him sympathetic and like a human character, like an interesting character.

And he always liked Morbius in the comics as well. Again, they did a very good job with that. But his film, so I'm conflicted. Also, because now, everybody to listen to the show are going to think about that fucking film. That's been the most recent thing about Morbius. They're going to think about that shitty-ass film, which we be at fun of ourselves.

They're going to think about that and not think about the proper Michael Morbius a character who I always liked. So, you know, I think people need to put their preconceptions away. And watch the... You did say, like, as soon as Corey announced it was Mobius. Oh, it's Morbin time.

I did, right, because that was for the YouTube reviews. I'm trying to, you know, trying to get the people involved. But I'm also trying to chastise those very fans for being so small-minded and ignorant. that they don't appreciate the kind of character that Michael Morbius truly is.

He really is. He really is. So you can wag your finger at them. Well, yeah, let's use the Fras rag the finger.

Let's use that. So who's starting to solve with Morbius at one? I mean, I mean, I mean such a big, I've been such a big

fucking speech. I have to do something about Morbius, right? I'm going to go three. I'll go four. Corey? I don't want a vampire.

I'm not that opposed to a vampire. Okay, let me ask you this. You don't have to reveal too much. Is this the only vampire on the list? No. There is at least one other vampire. Is the other vampire Jubilee? No, it's not Jubilee.

I was tempted to do, because I have a wild card thrown in here that I thought kind of fit the list, but kind of didn't. Could have been Jubilee, but it was not. Oh, okay. You know what? I'll go seven. No, well, that's too spicy for me. So, battenham and Morbius. I think I'm exactly the CM, are there?

I'll take it. All right, John, or John gets Morbius for seven, right? No, Dylan does. Dylan gets seven. Okay. John or Dylan, you can choose who you want to have Morbius. A 19th century ghost with a grudge against Hawkman and Hot Girl. That's all the description he gets.

the ghost. Dylan. Oh. Gentle and ghosts can control animals. Oh. He can blast things out of his hands. He has a death touch as an escape artist. He is a mortal. He has a high intelligence. He can turn invisible. He can levitate. He can cast magic. He's an expert marksman. He's can be a fucking ghost.

He's psionic has high stamina. He's very stealthy. An expert swordsman can teleport, can track people. He's a master of unarmed combat and with weapons. and he uses willpower-based constructs. Gentlemen, Jim, Kratik, who wants to start us off at one? Me? I'll go two. I'd go five.

Oh. Oh, that's some dirty play right there, my friend. I'm going to have to go seven. I'll go eight. Oh, John, do you want to go nine? I'll go nine then. All right. Ten?

Ten. Uh. I won't go any higher than 10. No, same here. Fuck. Congratulations. When you get Gentleman Ghost? I didn't want him for 10.

Well, that's what you got him for. I got him. That's fine. I'm happy with that. That's cool. I was just joking. I love the goddamn ghost. Suddenly you've got more characters than me or Corey.

But yeah, you've still got... 20 more pounds than we do. That's called strategy, baby. Wow. It's about the quality, not the quantity. I know what I'm doing. All right you go. Jason Philip McIndale, a former agent of the CIA,

turned from the first jackal lantern to the second hobgoblin, or second major hobgoblin, to the host of the demigorgon. He was rebuilt as a cyborg and renamed a Remain Hobgoblin until the first hobgoblin, who was thought dead, returned and killed him. That's his bio, but specifically, for this auction, he's Jackal Lantern.

A scape artist has implants, intelligent, he's an expert marksman, has super strength, unarmed combat, and a weapon master. And he has a little flying saucer and throws pumpkins. Would anyone like to start us off at one for Jackal Lantern?

Yes. I mean, I guess one's gonna be... I'm they gonna get him? Yeah, that sounds like you're getting for one, bud. Yes! Holy fuck! I wasn't even sure if you were to put just Macadale on here

because when he did Kingsley I'm like I'm not getting Macadale but you put him on here and I got it for one yep you got him for one I'm going to write that down are you guys serious?

Yeah because like I said in a couple of episodes before this he was the the hobgoblin I first saw him with the cybernatics

and the comics that was like one of the first comics he ever got I have a obviously he's not a great character but I have a soft spot for him because his

Hobb goblin was loosely based on the one they used in the TV show they didn't go with the Roger Kingsy one no no it was loosely based on the the Jason McNeil one and I'm

dude I'm over the moon for that there you go I will fucking take that I have to remind you it's not the Hobgoblin it's Jacko Anton right but he has a potential to become the hoggoblin. All right, this is our 15th

pick. An original member of the new mutants and has the power of lichenthropy, wolf spain. Oh, fuck, no. Highly agile. I get my hand away that quickly. Highly agile, has claws, an escape artist, is feral, has healing

abilities, is invulnerable, can shape shift can change her size of high stamina and very stealthy, superhearing, super sight, super smell, super speed, super strength, an expert tracker and an expert at unarmed combat. Wolf Spain, a Scottish little girl who has the ability to turn into a wolf or in some place in between the wolf. Would anyone want to start us off at one for Wolf Spain? I'll take it then.

Sounds like I'll be the only one. I've already got a werewolf. I don't need another. All right. I'll take her for one then. That was my random one I threw in there, by the way. I was like a toss-up between vampire jubilee, Wolf's Bain, or Magic, and I thought magic would be too good, and vampire jubilee would be too obvious. It's all yours. Well, thank you, sir.

This is our 16th pick. Cletus Cassidy is a deranged and highly dangerous serial killer and a longtime host of the Carnage Symbiot. As Carnage, he is adaptive, agile, has berserker strength, can fit his surroundings, can absorb chemicals, has claws, has cosmic awareness, has a danger sense, dark force manipulation, death touch, dimensional manipulation, divine powers, duplication, earth manipulation, elasticity, electricity, electricity control, is feral, can fly, has genetic manipulations, has a healing factor, is immortal, is intelligent, can turn invisible, can become invulnerable, can be around for very long time, can phase, has power mimicry, wears a power suit,

Has high stamina, is stealthy, can breathe underwater, has super speed, super strength, with unarmed combat, is a wall-clinger, a weapon master, and a web slinger. Dillon is what you've been waiting for.

Does anyone want to start us off at one for carnage? Can I really quickly get the low yarn and how much money all of us have left? Yeah, yes. John, go ahead. Okay. So I have 43 pounds. Corey has 42 pounds. And Dylan has 62 pounds. So I'm going to start the bidding at 15. Oh, John. Damn. John.

What, this is low for carnage. I stopped at seven. All right. I didn't make any agreement with anybody. I'll go 16. 18. All right, we're sitting at 18. John, do you have any desire to go further? No, no. Like I said, I was only keeping it low. That's all. Thank you, John. All right, I couldn't resist. All right, John, Dylan, carnage is yours for 18.

Do you want to give us a rundown to that money again now, John? So I have 43. Dylan has 44, and you have 42 left to stay. I still have more than everybody. Yeah. Wow. All right. I would have went to, I would have went to find you a carnage. But John was so nice about it, so.

Yeah. What a gift. We're a lovely man. We have six more left, by the way. Okay. After being murdered by the League of Assassins during a performance, Circus Acrobat Boston Brand was turned into a ghost by the Hindu goddess Ramakushna, becoming the superhero dead man, Boston Brand,

must aid the people he possesses to avoid an eternity in hell. He is agile and is an escape artist. Can fly is immortal. Is invisible. Can levitate. Can cast magic. Can phase basically as a fucking ghost. He can possess people.

He's naturally stealthy. He can teleport and he can track people. I will start us off with one for Dead Man. Is it Liam Neeson? Is it the same guy? No, no. This is the DC Comics version of Dead Man. You're thinking of Darkman.

Darkman. Is he on the list? No. Darkman is not on the list. Forget it. So I don't know a whole lot of DC stuff, so I probably don't know this guy, do I? We talked about him in the episode before last. But, yeah, but was it listening?

Probably not. I was talking about DC people. Yeah, and I was probably thinking about chocolate, so. I was either going to be. I figured you would either say chocolate ice cream or sandwiches. So they... Oh, is that all I'm known for? I do like chocolate, though.

There you go. Zamo wanted to increase a bidding to two. You know what? I'll go to two just because I don't know who he is. I'll go to three. I kind of want a ghost, but at the same time, I don't know anything about Dead Man. So.

Yeah, I don't know anything about this guy. I'm happy to let you have him. Mm-hmm. Okay. So I'll take him for three. Okay. And I am the first person who's below 40 now. Yes.

Good down to us. This one might be another low bidding one. But Dylan, this does go back to your question earlier. Anton R. Kane was a brilliant but deranged scientist who dedicated his life to discover the secret of immortality. Anton would get an ability to refine his methods as a World War I medic, having access to many dead bodies on which he would use for his bizarre, dark experiments and tests. Anton would eventually also come to know and befriend Adolf Hitler. By the time, be friends. Befriend. By the time. By the friend. By friends. By the buddies. By the time

arcane achieved his goal of immortality, his body was too old and feeble and no longer suitable to carry him through eternity. So Anton began conducting experiments to make a new body. but the results dubbed the unmen were grotesque and deformed failures. After learning of Swampthing's existence, they became mortal enemies after Swamphing refused to allow arcane access to his body. So, Dylan, this is the one that you would get weed killer if you had it's on Arcane, because weed killer is an unmanned. But I already have Spomthing because you guys already fucked up there. That's going to be a lot of attention on your team if you get them. Well, there's a lot of tests on everything.

Carnage is on there. He's going to kill everybody. Except the gentleman ghost who is a ghost. He's already dead. Yeah, exactly. So this is, I mean, I'll put out a bit. I'll put out a bit. Sure.

I'll put out of three. So real quick, Anton R. Kane is super agile, can absorb chemicals, can secrete chemicals, has claws, has cosmic awareness, can manipulate the dark force. Can absorb and excrete chemicals? Yes kicks him in, puts him out Yep Okay As divine powers

Is feral Has high intelligence As a natural leader Can use magic Can cast necromancy Can control plant life Can possess people Can change a shape

Can absorb souls Has high stamina Has super strength Has unarmed combat And vamporism He didn't do anything that shit in the TV show So He just turned into

a weird purpleish man at the end of the episode. Yeah, what the fuck? No, no. So if I get him, do I get access to all his henchmen? Because that was not explicitly stated. No, I will allow that. You can have access to Dr.

Zaz and the weird Batman and weed killer. Okay. Well, then I will stick with my bit of three. I'll go five. That was silence right Corey, you know what I want to say anything?

We watched the show, Corey. We watched the show. I know. I wasn't going to be on him, period. So you already outdid me. All right, John, sounds like you're going to be getting him for five unless Dylan says something in the next one, two. I don't know.

I don't know if I want him not bad. You know what you mean? I mean, the guy I wanted was carnage. And then I got Jess McAdale as a bonus. So I honestly, I'm like riding pretty high right now. John can have him. John, you're going to get him for five. by the side of it.

Sweet. What's his name? Anton Arcane. Okay. Great choice. You get the weird bugman? Yeah, all the henchmen. I'll take that.

Did you see the fucking TV show? Yeah, I used to watch it as a kid. What the fuck? That bug man was scary as hell. I had Anton Arcane, like the toy they brought out. So you lucked out, man. You loved it. love this guy and you looked out with him getting them at five.

And you also looked out with getting carnage like, or getting them band him at like seven. And you still billed me fucking whatever for Carnage. Like, I've got out of my way to, to accommodate you. And you, you,

you're a real villain to me. See this? People think I'm the villain of the show. John's a real villain. So our 19th pick, in 1944, U.S. soldiers discovered an infant demon with a giant stone hand and named him hellboy later founding the bureau

the bureau for paranormal research and defense hellboy became the world's greatest paranormal investigator soon after it was revealed that he was born to summon the apocalypse but was instead devoting his life to fight the forces of evil hellboy is adaptive agile can astrally project himself as berserker strength cosmic awareness a danger sense a death touch dimensional manipulation electricity control energy manipulation is feral can fly has gadgets can heal can control hellfire is immortal is invulnerable uh his natural born leader he's been around for very very long time he can use magic he can absorb matter he can cast necromancy he can phase he can use power items he can mimic powers he uses psychometry is is considered radioactive to some people uh he can manipulate reality

can manipulate his size, can absorb souls, has high stamina, super hearing, super sight, super smell, super strength, a swordsman can track people as an unarmed combatant and a weapon master. Anyone want to start us off at one for Hellboy? Yeah, I'll have him for one. I will go to five.

I was going to go to five. I was going to go to six, then. Seven? I'll go eight. Hellboy's a pretty good one, I know. Well, I'll go to 10. I'll go to 11.

John? No. I'll go 12. I'll go 13. I think I might. Okay. So I will take Hellboy for 13. How many have we got left?

So Hellboy was our 19th. Pick we have three more to go. What's the price ranges? Yeah, John, freeze down. So we are down to 38 pound left for me, 44 pound left for Dylan,

and 26 pound left for Corey. Not too bad, not too bad. I think we've definitely, despite some big splashes here and there, we've been pretty frugal this time. Yep. There's still a little wiggle room for all of us. Yeah, yeah.

With three left. All right. Our 20th pick, Johnny Blaze, a motorcycle stuntman, became bound to the spirit of vengeance known as Zarathos, after making a deal of Mephesto to spare the life of his surrogate father. With the power to control hellfire and inflict pain on those he deems evil with his pen and stare, Johnny Blaze seeks vengeance as Ghost Rider. Ghost Rider is super agile, has berserk restraint,

has blast power, fire control, flame breath, healing, heat generation, hellfire control, is immortal. is invulnerable, been around for a very long time, can cast magic as an expert marksman, can control the dead, has his pennant stare, uses magic items, can sense death is super stamina,

super strength, and an expert tracker. Who wants to start us off at one for Johnny Blaze? I'll do one. I'll go three. I'll go four. I'll go five. I'll go eight.

I'll go nine. I'll do 10 12 I think that's it for me I'm out yeah so you're gonna get Ghost Rider at 12 that's pretty good

like that pretty good our 21st pick the world knows Wanda Maximov as the scarlet witch with probability manipulation and reality warping abilities the twin sister of quicksilver mother

to Wiccan and Speed and ex-wife of the vision Wanda has taken on many roles throughout her life but will forever be known for causing the destination.

An expert with unarmed combat can control water, can control

weather, can control will based constructs and can generate wind. Who would like to start us off at 1 for the Scarlet Witch? That sounds like a lot. It is a lot. I mean, I'll go for one.

I'll go to five. Six? Seven. Twelve. 13. 14. Oh, Dylan, you want to go 14? Okay. 15, 16. Oh, 17. 18. Oh, John, you want to do 19?

I do 19. I'll go 20. John, John, John, think about how much more Correyes left. He was in the 20s. Yeah, yeah. And he took to a lot of money I have left because he's been tracking. He brought Hellboy. Yeah. So he might be out of money already.

I'll go 21. I'll go 22. Ah, God damn it. 26, then. John's top is the exact amount that I have, so I can't go higher than John. Yeah, it's the exact amount that I have as well. Evened out. Yeah.

So John gets Scarletwich. I've got no money to spend now on the last one. Can I just say, John has spent 20. 27 on Hobgoblin and then 26 on the Scudder Witch, those are the two highest bids. Despite me having to spend 18 on Carnage, which was a fucking... Fucking whatever. And also, Corey spent 20 on Frankenstein, which was kind of like out of nowhere. Like, nobody was bidding 20 and he just jumped a bid to 20.

Yeah, exactly. Asserting dominance. I mean, the carnage or Frankenstein, obviously, we'd go. over frying his sign. I would have gone higher for hellboy, but I was trying to be patient. All right, this is the very last pick. It's between Dylan and myself.

And it also has the shortest description. How much, how much have you got left? How much have I got left? I have 26. You have 44. 44, yeah. Oh, boy. All right.

So this is our very last pick. He has the shortest description, which I think is funny. They say the randomizer put him last. The original Count Dracula from Bram Stoker's famous novel, Dracula. Fuck. God damn it. He's adaptive. He's agile, control animals.

Can create energy shields. escape artist is feral, can breathe fire, can fly, can manipulate someone's genetics, has healing, hypnosis, illusion casting, is immortal, insanely rich, high intelligence can become invisible, can become invulnerable, these strong leadership skills, can levitate, has been around

for a very long time, can cast magic, can mesmerize, can control the dead, can phase through walls, is psionic, is psychic, can manipulate reality, can change shapes, can siphon abilities, and life force has high stamina, expert stealth abilities, superhearing, super sight, super smell, super strength, super strength, sorry, super speed and super strength. Is an expert swordsman, is telepathic, can teleport, can manipulate time, can track, is an expert with unarmed combat, can cling to the walls, is a weapon master, can control the weather, and finally has the power of vampirism. Dylan, do you want to start the bidding for Dracula at one?

four four four I'll go six eight I'll go nine ten eleven twelve twelve thirteen no fourteen sixteen

I'm not paying that you've got forty four pound I don't want to spend a Dracula what if it was four maybe we're talking something else wait how much is four your left

he's got 26 well then what do you say what do you say 14 it's 16 I believe 17 18 no I don't know all right I'll take it for 18

that's that's fine all right well that's gonna do our auction all 22 people have been picked. John, do you want to do a final tally of how much money is remaining for everyone? Mm-hmm. So I have zero pounds left.

Dylan still has 44 pound left. Whoa. And Corey has only eight pound left. Well, do you want to tell you who everybody has? Yeah, go ahead. Yeah. So Corey has Scarecrow, brother Voodoo, Shumagorath,

Frankenstein, Wolfsbane, Dead Man, Hellboy, and Dracula. So that's one, two, three,

four, five, six, seven, eight characters. I have Constantine, Dormammu,

Swamp Thing, Morbius, gentleman ghost, Jason McIndale and Carnage for one, two, say his name.

Say Jackalanan. Sorry, Jagelan and Carnage for one, two, three, four, five, six characters.

John has Doctor Strange, Hobgoblin, Roder Kingsley, the Warwick and I ban him, Antenarkeed, ghostwriter, and Scarter Witch

for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven characters. You also had seven characters. You just... Yeah, you said six. Yeah.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. I do have seven, yep. Okay. All right. So, um,

were there any surprises for you in that auction and how do you feel about your teams? I think I'm very happy of my team. You know, I've got like a guy on the ground like Carnage or the McIndale that Jackalander Morbius. You got those supernatural guys like Dormammu

and Jem a ghost. You know, I'm pretty happy with Constantine can just do whatever he wants. Spong thing does whatever you want. I'm pretty happy with my team, Kimball. Yeah, same. I think, like, I've got a good range of, like, different abilities and stuff. Like, you've got, obviously, sorcerer supreme, Dr. Strange.

We've got the god of symbiates in Venom. We've got a mad scientist and Anton Arcane. Got, like, you know, a demonic vengeance demon as well. And the reality warping powers of the Scarlet Witch. So, yeah, I'm pretty happy with that. Yeah, you did pretty good. Yep. Yep, and I accomplished what I wanted to do.

I have like one of every sort of staple almost. I have a vampire. I have a ghost. I have a werewolf. I have monsters and gods from other realms. And I have a voodoo practitioner. And then I also have a guy who's just a guy, but really good at making a gas that makes you see things that are scary.

and wolf's being and wolf's been she's a whirlwolf yeah she's scary so yeah any other thoughts about this

this was a good idea like for a spooky season you know do other spooky characters maybe a Christmas we could do all the Christmas characters that could be fun

if I could figure out that many Christmas characters there are no Christmas characters that was a joke but I would like to do the auction again at some point because I think we all had fun doing it.

A lot of fun. Oh yeah. As long as John does fuck me over with a carnage again. Unbelievable. What? After I was so lenient with you on Venom.

You got Carnage for super cheap. You got Venom for half the price I got Carnage for. But you would rate carnage higher, so it all balances out. Exactly, but, dude, everybody else would read Venom more than Carnage and everybody else will say, dude, you got Venom for it's super cheap. And I'd be like, that's right.

John did, you know, in the comments when I'm replying to them by myself. They'll be like, oh, I was going to say, a real quick question. Did you feel like the order of the picks played any part in how you spent your money? I think the only thing that made a difference for me was I knew Carnage was coming up. Yeah. But other than that, but I had, I suspect this much, right? Even before you confirmed it, I would like, if you're going to put venom in, it makes sense of a carnage in. So I kind of suspected that.

Other than that, though, I mean, it was just like who I wanted my team, you know? Yeah, I can't really remember who we put into the draw after our last recording session. So, you know, it's all a fun surprise. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, folks, that's going to probably do us here for today. John, what's your movie count out? I am currently on 622. Wow. What was the last film? It was Twister, although not the one you're thinking of. It was a 1989 comedy starring Crispin Glover and Harry Dean Stanton. I mean, it doesn't sound funny, but.

more oddball and offbeat and weird than anything else like a Ruben and Ed situation I have no idea what that means Ruben and Ed oh boy if you like awkward Chris McLever comedy check out Ruben and Ed I will have to add it to the rest you've ever heard that foot it that the story of him getting banned from David Letterman because he almost kept him in the face yep he was dressed as Rube and Ed and oh yeah that sounds like the kind of thing that Chris and Glover would do. Absolutely. I love that man.

Yeah. So John, where can they read the more reviews from you? They can find me on Letterboxed at Big John Balski, all one word. And Dylan, what's going on in the world of Exploity plays? I don't know. Just to have to follow
